I don't see anything special in these requirements, if you're gaming on your PC you should have a rig at least this good. The 260/4850 are relatively old cards. A quad core and 4gb are a must if you want to play modern games. I think it's exactly what you'd expect from a game like this.

Well, it's one thing to say it'll run, it's another for it to actually run. Then subjectivity for whether or not it runs well enough and blah blah blah. I may take my chances, but I'll have to see if I can even get back into the original beforehand.

Recommended specs (which I concider to be the true minimum in most cases) are fairly steep to anyone who hasnt upgraded their PC recently. Despite this, Im fairly sure itll still sell well. It does look fantastic, and as long as its at least half as good as it looks, I'll be sure to pick it up once I have a capable gaming rig.

Waiting for them to finally give up and announce these games for consoles. They may make pot shots at Dragon Age, but once they compare its console sales alone vs whatever sales they scrounge on pc, they'll want to cry.
